AUSTRALIAN coach Darren Lehmann will give weary pace duo Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood a modest break to stop the very real risk of their burnout before a back-breaking tour of India.

The quick men are likely to have to work hard today when Australia tries to take nine wickets to wrap up a 3-0 clean sweep of the Test series against Pakistan.

The visitors were 1-51 at stumps on Friday, still 411 runs away from an unlikely win.

David Warner again got the Aussies off to a flyer with the second-fastest 50 in Test cricket.

The left-hander took just 23 balls to post his half- century, before being dismissed on 55.

Usman Khawaja (79 not out), Steve Smith (59) and the dependable Peter Handscomb (40 not out) took Australia's second innings to 2-241 before Smith declared.

Burdened with the heaviest workload of the Test team, Hazlewood and Starc will be rested for "one or two” of the upcoming eight one-day internationals against Pakistan and New Zealand, Lehmann said.

India, where wickets are likely to offer the quicks little assistance, follows little more than a fortnight after the last ODI against New Zealand.

Australia will look to its two strike bowlers more than ever on what is expected to be an arduous tour against an Indian side that has rediscovered its love of batting all day and posted enormous totals.

Lehmann admitted his concern about the workloads of Starc and Hazlewood, but said they would certainly be involved in the one-day component of the summer.

Before the start of play at against Pakistan on Friday, Hazlewood had sent down 253 overs and Starc just 10 fewer in six Tests this summer.

The pair also played all three matches in the ODI sweep of New Zealand - Starc contributing 27 overs and Hazlewood 26.

Australia, expected to announce a one-day squad after this Test, will open its five-game series against Pakistan at the Gabba on Friday.

A three-game ODI series against the Black Caps across the Tasman, finishing on February 5, follows.

And Lehmann expects both of his speed demons to be available.

"You need your best players playing and Starc's one-day record is exceptional. They helped us get 3-0 against New Zealand a month or so ago,” Lehmann told Channel Nine.
